Christen inverted system orings - part numbers and source

tectweaker

Well Known Member
Planning to clean the inverted oil system in next oil change.

I believe there is a oring in the sump.

Anybody knows the part number or source for that?

Any other orings (needle valve etc) should I be replacing as well? Part numbers and sources would be great.
 
Below is a link to the Christen 801 Series Inverted Oil System Product Manual. It may have what you need:



This Extra document says to flush the system every 300 hours:



... as does this Lycoming SI No. 1397:



I think the oil suction screen crush gasket is the same as those for the regular horizontal sump (for the IO-320 & IO-360), which are either of these: Lycoming P/N 06E19769-1.00 Crush Gasket, OR, MS35769-21 Crush Gasket - ACS Part # AN900-16.

Of course, the oil suction screen should be inspected and cleaned every 100 hours or at every Annual Condition Inspection, irrespective of the inverted oil system cleaning time interval.
